HARTWELL, GA., UNITED STATES, May 31, 2016 /EINPresswire.com/ -- HARTWELL, Ga. – Author Walter Carter Tucker shares a touching story about the Vietnam war in an autobiography, “Men Who Fought… Boys Who Prayed.”

Tucker’s memoir is a combat chaplain's eye view of how young men faced war and death in Vietnam. Most of them were sent out as mere boys but grew up in a hurry and became men.

“I wanted moms, dads, wives, sweethearts and children to know that someone was there with their loved one when he was lonely, hurting, or worse. Also, I wanted readers to know a little more of what a chaplain does, and, although I could not speak for all chaplains, I could at least let them know how I approached the duty of a combat chaplain… it was a secondary calling,” shares Tucker when asked about the inspiration behind the stirring biography.

“Men Who Fought… Boys Who Prayed,” is an iconic memoir that centers on the theme of unity and togetherness and the accomplishment of an army chaplain’s promise to himself and to the young soldiers under his spiritual care that he would be with them all the way.

“I think military veterans, especially those who have been in combat, will see it and say, ‘that's the way it was.’ And parents with children in the military will read it and be pleased that their child has a friend out there who does not even carry a weapon,” shares Darcy Blobaum, Acquisitions Editor for Tate Publishing.

Published by Tate Publishing and Enterprises, the book is available through bookstores nationwide, from the publisher at www.tatepublishing.com/bookstore, or by visiting barnesandnoble.com or amazon.com.

Carter spent four years as an enlisted man in the U.S. Navy Submarine service and 16 years in the US Army as a chaplain. Carter is an avid reader and in recent years, he has read hundreds of World War II, Korea and Vietnam books, with quite a few on later wars as well. Carter and his wife has hosted 23 groups to the Holy Land and participated in extensive volunteer work in the U S and sixteen foreign countries. He raises the biggest watermelons in the community and is at home in his tiny woodwork shop. His grandchildren proudly identify him as the ‘The World’s Best Story Teller.’
